What is your favorite Wittenberg memory?
One of my favorite moments at Wittenberg would have to be CBS/AIA Formal Weekend 2009.

Why Witt Nation?
Witt Nation is such a great opportunity to help bridge the gap between the Wittenberg of yesterday and the Wittenberg of today. No matter how young or old one may be, once a tiger, always a tiger. I’ve always found joy in conversing with Alums. From making phone calls to them in the Bayley Alumni House to meeting with them over homecoming, Alum have some of the best stories and our Alum in particular are some of the greatest people you’ll meet!

What is your involvement on the trip?
I will be assisting the Witt Nation Crew and traveling to designated locations.

What is a lesson you learned while at Wittenberg?
I’ve learned that the light cannot be acquired by simply attending this university, it must be obtained. It is up to us, as individuals, to be sure that we are upholding that light through compassion, service, and, leadership.

Tunes?
I would have to go with some Kayne West and Bloc Party!

Favorites:
Show: The Hills, Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations
Movie: I have a lot, and I mean a lot, of favorite movies but Guys and Doll’s and Shawshank Redemption are defiantly at the top.
Team: Boston Celtics with the exception of when they have to play ….. The Cleveland Cavaliers of course!!
Book: Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and anything Cornel West.
Food: I am a huge fan of Italian. I have an Italian heart.
Music: I love lots of music as well.

Interesting fact about yourself:
I’m a girly girl who loves playing on her Xbox 360! If anyone wants to challenge me they are in for a rude awakening. Just don’t be upset when I beat you and you notice you just lost to a girl with a pencil skirt and purple pumps on!

Road Trip Essentials:
Music (of course), Victoria’s Secret Vanilla Lace shower gel and body spray, Chocolate Pretzels, Arizona Iced Tea, and Lip Gloss!
